Recreio Descontraído is a free gathering in Lisbon for families with neurodivergent children, including autism and ADHD, held in a picnic format for about two hours. Children play freely at their own pace with toys and art activities while parents talk, share experiences and build friendships, and a quiet corner is always available for anyone who needs a pause. This session takes place in the Jardins Românticos at Jardins do Bombarda, a cultural and community centre. The project is run by Valquíria Porto da Rosa, whose background includes mother groups (MamaWorking), Manativista Associação and the BIP/ZIP Speak Out! project at Escola Gil Vicente. Registration and further information are available via @recreiodescontraido. The meetings are held in various spaces around the city, including gardens, libraries and schools.
